Why Copper? Why Now?

The Copper Supercycle

Electrification is the demand engine of this century — and AI data centres are the most copper-intensive infrastructure ever built, against a global supply base that has not grown in a decade.

  • Global data centre power demand forecast to grow more than 165% by 2030, driven primarily by AI workloads1
  • A single hyperscale AI data centre uses up to 45,000 tonnes of copper — three to ten times more than a conventional facility2
  • Global copper supply deficit projected at 10 million tonnes by 2040, against US$210 billion of new mine investment required to close it3

Why the USA?

A Generational Policy Tailwind

For the first time in a generation, US policy, tariff protection, and import vulnerability have aligned behind domestic copper production.

  • Copper designated a US Critical Mineral in November 2025, unlocking FAST-41 expedited permitting and federal financing pathways1
  • 50% tariff on the full value of semi-finished copper imports and 25% on copper-intensive derivatives under Section 232 (April 2026), creating a structural domestic price premium2
  • The United States imports 57% of its refined copper; China and Russia alone account for 53% of non-US refined production3

Why Arizona & Hot Breccia?

America's Copper Heartland

Arizona produces seven of every ten pounds of US copper. Hot Breccia sits in the heart of the Laramide Porphyry Belt — neighbour to North America's largest copper mines.

  • 1,420 hectares across 227 unpatented mining claims; BLM-permitted through April 2028
  • 2 km from the ASARCO Hayden smelter and 3 km from Freeport's Christmas Mine1
  • Selected surface samples grading up to 5.7% copper; historical drilling intersected copper-zinc skarn at depth2
  • AI exploration model supports the geological thesis (Oct 2024); ZTEM airborne survey identified a large conductive anomaly at depth**
